He will be 34 years old at the end of the 2011 season. Even if he has a half way decent year in 2011 he’ll command around $9 or 10M per as a FA for 2 years with possibly a 3rd year team option. Is that something the Padres are likely to afford?

Good luck to Heath. But every time I hear a player say that, Jason’s blog title comes to mind, because the next quote you get is all too often about how the player was “disrespected” by an offer deemed too low by his agent. It is completely within Heath’s power if he stays in SD or not. Tony Gwynn sucked up the hometown discount for years. Gwynn realized that a couple of million per year off a multi-million dollar deal still is fabulous money to have while living in a fabulous city. Will Heath follow suit?
